How many times a day do Muslims pray?

What are the five daily prayers?

• Fajr: the dawn prayer, before sunrise.
• Dhuhr: the midday prayer, after the sun passes its zenith.
• Asr: the afternoon prayer.
• Maghrib: the sunset prayer.
• Isha: the night prayer.

Exact start and end times vary by date, location, and calculation or juristic method. Use a reliable local prayer timetable for actual times.

Does the Quran say to pray five times?

The Quran establishes Salah and refers to prayer at appointed times. The established five-prayer daily pattern is understood through the Quran together with the Prophet's Sunnah and the wider Islamic tradition; it is not presented as one numbered list in a single Quranic verse.

What should a beginner learn first?

Start by understanding why Muslims pray and how purification prepares a person for Salah. Then learn the practical steps with appropriate guidance, rather than trying to memorize everything at once.
